How Lamar really feels about being a sixth man?

Whether he actually does become a sixth man is still way too early to determine, but here’s what Lamar had to say about the idea raised by Lakers coach Phil Jackson last week:

“I don’t think it will be a problem when you’re playing together. It’s too bad it has to be politics and business around the game, especially when you have a team like this. It’s not right for me to be selfish at this time,” Odom said.

“I walk into the locker room and I’m like, ‘Damn, this team is going to win the championship.’ I want to be a part of that. But … It’s definitely conflicted emotions. I might wake up today feeling one way and wake up tomorrow feeling another way. This is the team I want to be on. This is the coach I want to play for. These are the guys I want to be around.”

Lamar is the most selfish player in the league. If Phil decides that he is the 6th man, I can only see Lamar busting his butt to be the best. This post puts this issue to rest but I am sure the rest of the media will hound him for something negative
